The Emperor Protects ~ Adepta Sororitas ~ A Sisters of Battle Project

SKULLS SKULLS & MORE SKULLS

*****

After my last post showing the beginnings of my Seraphim flying base alternatives I’ve now finished assembling & undercoated the first part of my Sisters army. Yay! I’ll show you guys the completed Seraphim first & how I went about the extra base detailing.

BRINGING THE WORLD TO LIFE

*****

After attaching all my Seraphim using brass rod which I detailed in my previous post it was all about adding some extra texture & life to the bases. Where the normal sisters of battle units are within the temple with candles & temple floors I wanted the Seraphim to give the appearance of leaping out of the gates & into the fray. I wanted a mix of ruins & death & with death comes skulls. This is 40k after all!

CROUCHING SERAPHIM HIDDEN SKULL

*****

The first part of my basing involved using the awesome citadel skull set. I wanted a mixture of both Daemon & human noggins that have taken a flogging & hid them amidst different sections of the bases. I’ve got to say my favourite is the one lodged in the Seraphim Superiors turbine base. OUCH!

GET YOUR ROCKS OFF

*****

After my girlfriend got a terrarium for her birthday she had a few little pebbles left over which of course like any true war gamer does I stashed away for future use. I smothered the base in more glue than a council estates street party then applied a mixture of these stones here & there to add some texture. From there I filled in the gaps by applying some Citadel Astrogranite texture paint to really complete the scene. I’m chuffed with how they came out & after a primer of Wraithbone everything was tied together.

THE CANDLES ARRIVE

*****

YES! The candles finally arrived from Kromlech & boy oh frickin boy have they just brought these bases to life. With the temple bases from unreal wargaming combined with these tiny flaming bad boys of awesomeness, I’m chuffed with how they are going to complement my original painted sister of battle.

WHAT COMES NEXT

*****

It’s not quite painting time yet. I’m going to build the next part of my army first. I have the Repentia, The Penitent Engine, The Repentia Mistress, The Arco Flagellants & finally the Canoness herself left to build. There’s a reason I’ve saved her for last & it’s mainly to see what head I have left in bits that I may use for conversion work. I’ve kept everything else equipped pretty much how the box intends but with the canoness herself I may go in a different direction. Stay tuned for the next one.

MUCH LOVE
